The original bug report is probably about someone asking to diff a file (in this case a binary file) against a revision where it wasn't present (at least, that is the hint I get from looking at the URL).
What confuses me about the original URL:
 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daker/dexter-rolodex/fix.688511/view/24.1.5/data/media/background.png?sort=filename&remember=1&file_id=etc-20101119044251-5jfdakonern1nd08-2&compare_revid=1

If I understand correctly, that is someone asking to find the changes for 'background.png' relative to 'etc'. Which is a directory which is completely unrelated. /data/media/background.png does exist in 24.1.5, but why would file_id=etc... be present?

Certainly smells of URL hacking causing us to OOPS.
